The Chainsmokers shocked students of Huntley High School near Chicago when they showed up at their prom Saturday and gave a 10-minute performance.
Dozens of students and a teacher posted pics and videos from the event, which took place at a Hyatt Regency hotel there.The EDM-pop duo also posted a photo of themselves with their new teen friends.
They tweeted, "Crashed this prom just now. It was across the street from our arena show, so why not :)." The Chainsmokers performed later in the evening a scheduled concert at Allstate Arena.
While it was a surprise to most of the students, the Chainsmokers' prom appearance was actually planned with help from the school’s principal.
The principal said he got a "random phone call" two weeks ago from a filmographer who worked for the duo.
He says the guy told him, "This is going to be the strangest call you've ever received, but one of your students actually sent an email to the manager of the band." He said, "It was probably the toughest secret I've ever kept, because I knew the kids were going to go crazy for it. He said the group just went onstage at the prom, with no introduction, and started singing. He said, "About three words in, somebody screamed 'That's The Chainsmokers!' and they just bum-rushed the stage.
It says a lot about those guys and how cool they are to their fans."After the performance, the Chainsmokers tweeted, "Your prom could be next."
